WAR MERCHANT BRAINFILTHING
It could not have been more predictable based on Britain's past experience in Afghanistan.. No one should hurt the invading Brits according to the BBC, with their friendly public relations machine and all that experience from the north of Ireland, portraying it simply as a sectarian conflict on their world service instead of the colonial war it really is. When you come to think of it, that experience should have warned them of these deadly Taliban attacks as well..
Of course, there are as always the equally predictable BBC reactions of horror. It is a “cowardly”, “despicable” attack, which is how they always described all those hundreds of ambushes on British soldiers in Belfast and south Armagh. In fact, that’s just how they described the attacks on British troops in Aden, Cyprus, Malaya, Kenya and Palestine.
Because of the lies and propaganda of the BBC, quoting British army warlords verbatim from the battlefield, few of the ordinary working class realize, that they are once again being used as cannon fodder by colonial occupiers of their own inherited privileged class that a monarchy guarantees and now once again, it is ordinary plain people whom their system call commoners, who are paying the ultimate price.
Then of course prior to the BBC, the British war industry all ways had their propagandists platform like they had Punch before them. They referred to their then Protestant rebels of Ulster, who rose in rebellion against their Empire and Monarchy as traitors too, just like Lord Londonderry referred to his former freedom fighting comrades as traitors, before he became her majesty's deputy minister. Soon he too will be repackaged and sold as a loyalist by the BBC once their brainfilthing is complete.
It was just the same back in 1917 the previous time they were in Iraq. General Sir Stanley Maude proclaimed that his Brit invasion force had come to “liberate” the people of Iraq not to conquer them but within three years, his troops had been gunned down and blown to smithereens just like the young British soldiers today in Afghanistan. It stinks to high heaven of hypocrisy as they brainfilth their own naive young potential "commoner " recruits.
How could they do this to us the BBC proclaim, when we came to liberate them? Once again this has become an inevitable theme in the aftermath of attack after attack in Afghanistan.. Guerrilla warfare, as the British know all too well, is a brutal form of conflict. It does not distinguish between “good” occupiers and “bad” occupiers, between soldiers and police who shoot down the innocent and the unemployed lad who just needed a job and relief from soul destroying poverty. Just like the north of Ireland experience, it goes back to Bloody Sunday in 1972 , when you kill the innocent, especially in a land that is not yours, you will suffer for it.

Madness is often defined as doing precisely the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Either the Brits are insane with war addiction or have such little regard for the cannon fodder of their own common people, that it's of no consequence, relative to their ego's craving for power and wealth, the illusionary fruits of their eternal international genocidal colonial wars..
The crocodile tears and tired recycled emotionally detached phrases of the BBC are an insult to the memory and sadness felt by all genuine working class people for the loss of one of their own. The BBC has some decent reporters but their editors have been vetted and hand picked by an eternal ruthless heartless war machine.
How many more misled loyalists from Ulster are going to be duped into joining their fallen comrades from the last time the British invaded and were defeated in Afghanistan. Anyone with half a braincell who reads the history of their last invasion in that part of the world, like all the other failed invasions there, already know the inevitable outcome. The only winner is blood money made from misery of the war industry. It is the responsibility of an ethical media, to inform its own young idealistic people properly of the costly lessons of history's experience, otherwise they are repeated with eternal colonial genocide ad infinitum.

WHAT DR. WHORE WON'T TELL YOU
.jpg)
The assassination of Bobby Kennedy occurred 63 days after the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis and less then 5 years after his older brother, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas. The last of the brothers, Edward, has just died bringing to a close, the principal participants of a time, often referred to as when the US lost its innocence.
The United States has never been the same since. The dreams of a better, more democratic life for all, with the image of American beacon of democracy was brutally slain over and over and over again. The Kennedy warriors are gone but their family spirit will surely arise from the ashes.
One of the next generation of Kennedys, is Bobby's son Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who surely with his background has had an upbringing and bird's eye view of what is really happening in current America. To reurn to his previously published statements is confirmation of our worst fears.
"The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt," Kennedy. "They are accepting money from the same corporations. And of course, that is going to corrupt you."
Kennedy implies that the US has become a fascist country.
"While communism is the control of business by government, fascism is the control of government by business," he writes. "My American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as 'a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership together with belligerent nationalism.' Sound familiar?"
He quotes Hitler's propaganda chief Herman Goerring: "It is always simply a matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Kennedy quotes Benito Mussolini's insight that "fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Democracy requires citizens to be informed so that they can meaningfully exercise their right to participate in the so called democratic process. Mainstream media play an essential role in facilitating the process of providing information to its citizens. They too are accepting money from the same corporations in advertizing revenue. And of course, it has also corrupted.
The Irishman Oscar Wilde wrote:
"In old days men had the rack. Now they have the press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody — was it Burke? — called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism."
Our Modern media are 95% whores !
Then of course their is the secret estate of which the commoner is meant to know nothing if Dr Whore has his way.

BBC BRAINFILTHING and CENSORSHIP
God Save the Queen - Censored
When it comes to Ireland, the BBC has always been a compliant slave of the British establishment in the production of propaganda, right up to the present day. The application of censorship sometimes subtle or subliminal and the suppression of the truth, carries right on to the present day, with its daily brainfilth beamed into almost all of Ireland's homes unhindered. Those Irish people who try to challenge it, even since the "Peace Process" or reply on matters even of a sporting or musical nature are generally censored.
The BBC has done exactly what it has been told to do by its secret service MI5 masters to this day, as it promotes racist Orange Order festivals, as though they were harmless or devoid of fascist content or as if they were an English village festival, promoting organised sectarian attacks on nationalists and their communities. Their divide and poison media blitzeriegs will never cease, just like their culture of applicants for editorial jobs at the BBC passed on to MI5 for vetting.
Even Popular music does not escape their policy of censorship and brainfilthing, here are some examples
"Give Ireland Back to the Irish" a Paul McCartney song written after the events of Bloody Sunday in Ireland, when thirteen unarmed peaceful marchers were murdered in broad daylight by the British Army during what was later termed "Bloody Sunday. The song was a single by McCartney, a member of the famous Beatles.
It was completely banned from media exposure by the BBC On the BBC chart show, Pick of the Pops, Alan Freeman was not allowed to even mention its title, he had to refer to it as "a record by the group Wings".
"From our point of view," said Paul McCartney, "it questioned what we were doing in Ireland. It was so shocking. I wrote 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish". The guitarist who played on the single, Henry McCullough, who's brother lived in Ireland was beaten up because of it. The thugs who were brainfilthed by the the British media, found out about the BBC ban and as result of that, he almost lost his life.
It is believed that the following verse is the reason the song is censored by the BBC.
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Dont make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today
The song reached number 1 in the singles charts in the Republic of Ireland and Spain.
Other songs banned are the following.

The British Broadcasting Corporation was formed with a royal charter. It subsequently took up home at Broadcasting House in London in 1932, the same year as the Empire Service, a precursor of the World Service, began broadcasting. It has now extended its anti-Irish brainfilth into Irish communities in the U.S with BBC America.
Anti-Irish British propaganda previous to the BBC world-service was their magazine called Punch, the following is a small example of their infamous Black Propaganda, which set the scene for today's BBC Irish archetypes broadcast worldwide to his very day, be it even in mainstream sport or music.
BBC Irish Racism
Examples of anti-Irish racism related to the Irish Famine experience.
"Out of Africa, Out of Ireland" and "British Racism: Before, During and After the Famine".
"Bog Trotters" is a long-standing British term for Irish people, especially Irish peasants. They are shown here as near imbeciles,frolicking over the countryside.
"The Irish Ogre" about to devour the peasants is none other than Daniel O’Connell, "the Liberator". He earned that name by leading a peaceful struggle for Catholic emancipation. Why he is depicted with copious bags of rent money is unclear.
"The workingman’s burden" shows a gleeful Irish peasant carrying his Famine relief money while riding on the back of an exhausted English laborer. The cartoon could just as easily have depicted Irish peasants carrying absentee English landlords on their backs.
"The Pig and the Peer". This cartoon shows a life-size pig with an Irish accent pleading with the English Prime Minister. During the Famine thousands of Irish peasants were evicted to make way for animals that could "pay rent".
"Two Forces" shows "classical" Britain using the sword of law to protect Ireland (Hibernia) from Irish "anarchists" and their demand for land reform.
"The Irish Frankenstein" capitalized on Mary Shelley’s popular novel to depict the Irish as savage, inhuman monsters.
This untitled cartoon shows the Irish as obese, wasteful, violent, drug abusing monkeys. The origins of the "Special Relationship" John Bull (Britain) shows Uncle Sam how he takes care of the troublemaker. Ireland was Britain's first colony it still teaches the U.S. counter insurgency in Iraq and worldwide today, the basic premise is divide and conquer.
"Equal Burdens". Here the stereotype of the belligerent Irishman meets the stereotype of the happy slave. Irish were called "white Negroes".
"Uncle Sam’s Lodging House" shows the Irish as the only new emigrant raising hell and disrupting good order.
"American Gold" contrasts the industrious Irish in America with the slothful Irish in Ireland. "No Irish Need Apply" signs were common.
BBC BRUTISH BULLSCUTTER COPERATION
The BBC world service still broadcasts its subliminal racist archetypes worldwide.
Don't even give them a chance to launch their Bullscutter !
Oh, no. Brutish Bullscutter Coperation. Don't come fucking near me today. Dear Jaysus, you Kerry fucking recruits and gobshites all over the Irish media are their by-product. There are so many things I could say to express my deep mistrust and yes, anger of these new media Irish opinion makers. Their world service can be a titillating export but their rampant censorship of the restless native's replies stinks to high heaven, of arrogance, cultural imperialism and age old repression.
I don't vote right wing as far as I know, so maybe that also explains my antagonism to them. I don't believe the Brutish Bullscutter Coperation, which henceforth will be simply called the BBC, offer anything approximating legitimate alternatives for this country, indeed any country but thats their business. I disagree with their monarchy, class system of commoners, lords, inherited privilige and intolerance of diversity or alternatives.
Lest you think nationalism is blinding me, do not confuse my rants against Brutish Bullscutter with the many Scottish, English and Welsh friends I have known down through the years, most of whom are the salt of the Earth in my opinion and great people.
It goes against every fibre of my being and tradition to be rude to people but you have got to stand up for your identity these days or become a smiling zombie product of their pundits and seductive manipulating bullscutter.
Brutes are people too but we must take this tour d'arse with all of its insanity, as a relief from the bland sanitized, couldn't give a fuck mercenary BULLSCUTTER ! of our age.

"From our point of view," said Paul McCartney, "it questioned what we were doing in Ireland. It was so shocking. I wrote 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish". The guitarist who played on the single, Henry McCullough, who's brother lived in Ireland was beaten up because of it. The thugs who were brainfilthed by the the British media, found out about the BBC ban and as result of that, he almost lost his life.
It is believed that the following verse is the reason the song is censored by the BBC.
Give Ireland back to the Irish

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

The British Broadcasting Corporation was formed with a royal charter. It subsequently took up home at Broadcasting House in London in 1932, the same year as the Empire Service, a precursor of the World Service, began broadcasting. It has now extended its anti-Irish brainfilth into Irish communities in the U.S with BBC America.
Anti-Irish British propaganda previous to the BBC world-service was their magazine called Punch, the following is a small example of their infamous Black Propaganda, which set the scene for today's BBC Irish archetypes broadcast worldwide to his very day, be it even in mainstream sport or music.
BBC Irish Racism
Examples of anti-Irish racism related to the Irish Famine experience.
"Out of Africa, Out of Ireland" and "British Racism: Before, During and After the Famine".
"Bog Trotters" is a long-standing British term for Irish people, especially Irish peasants. They are shown here as near imbeciles,frolicking over the countryside.
"The Irish Ogre" about to devour the peasants is none other than Daniel O’Connell, "the Liberator". He earned that name by leading a peaceful struggle for Catholic emancipation. Why he is depicted with copious bags of rent money is unclear.
"The workingman’s burden" shows a gleeful Irish peasant carrying his Famine relief money while riding on the back of an exhausted English laborer. The cartoon could just as easily have depicted Irish peasants carrying absentee English landlords on their backs.
"The Pig and the Peer". This cartoon shows a life-size pig with an Irish accent pleading with the English Prime Minister. During the Famine thousands of Irish peasants were evicted to make way for animals that could "pay rent".
"Two Forces" shows "classical" Britain using the sword of law to protect Ireland (Hibernia) from Irish "anarchists" and their demand for land reform.
"The Irish Frankenstein" capitalized on Mary Shelley’s popular novel to depict the Irish as savage, inhuman monsters.
This untitled cartoon shows the Irish as obese, wasteful, violent, drug abusing monkeys. The origins of the "Special Relationship" John Bull (Britain) shows Uncle Sam how he takes care of the troublemaker. Ireland was Britain's first colony it still teaches the U.S. counter insurgency in Iraq and worldwide today, the basic premise is divide and conquer.
"Equal Burdens". Here the stereotype of the belligerent Irishman meets the stereotype of the happy slave. Irish were called "white Negroes".
"Uncle Sam’s Lodging House" shows the Irish as the only new emigrant raising hell and disrupting good order.
"American Gold" contrasts the industrious Irish in America with the slothful Irish in Ireland. "No Irish Need Apply" signs were common.
BBC BRUTISH BULLSCUTTER COPERATION
The BBC world service still broadcasts its subliminal racist archetypes worldwide.
Don't even give them a chance to launch their Bullscutter !
Oh, no. Brutish Bullscutter Coperation. Don't come fucking near me today. Dear Jaysus, you Kerry fucking recruits and gobshites all over the Irish media are their by-product. There are so many things I could say to express my deep mistrust and yes, anger of these new media Irish opinion makers. Their world service can be a titillating export but their rampant censorship of the restless native's replies stinks to high heaven, of arrogance, cultural imperialism and age old repression.
I don't vote right wing as far as I know, so maybe that also explains my antagonism to them. I don't believe the Brutish Bullscutter Coperation, which henceforth will be simply called the BBC, offer anything approximating legitimate alternatives for this country, indeed any country but thats their business. I disagree with their monarchy, class system of commoners, lords, inherited privilige and intolerance of diversity or alternatives.
Lest you think nationalism is blinding me, do not confuse my rants against Brutish Bullscutter with the many Scottish, English and Welsh friends I have known down through the years, most of whom are the salt of the Earth in my opinion and great people.
It goes against every fibre of my being and tradition to be rude to people but you have got to stand up for your identity these days or become a smiling zombie product of their pundits and seductive manipulating bullscutter.
Brutes are people too but we must take this tour d'arse with all of its insanity, as a relief from the bland sanitized, couldn't give a fuck mercenary BULLSCUTTER ! of our age.

NEWS YOU WON'T FIND ON THE BBC
Osama Bin Laden was still working for the American Government on 9/11 !
The latest excuse for BBC censorship!
"Of course, as an internet publisher the BBC tries to avoid as far as possible publishing any defamatory comment, and the various types of moderation we use are intended to limit the risks of publishing contributions from the public"

Well Osama won't be suing the BBC will he ?
Wait for it, the children will be next !

BBC - "SECRET: U.K. EYES ONLY"
The Constitution of the USA was framed by Brits who were in the habit of their Monarchy marching them off as cannon fodder to the latest war, for their own good of course. The first American terrorists or rebel framers of the American Constitution, were hell-bent and determined to prevent this and wrote into their Constitution the first Article, that the power to make or authorize war, would be reserved to the representatives of people in the Congress, not in the Executive or Presidency.
So for Bush and Blair, two products of their respective secret services and their compliant media, to instigate first strike warfare, that has so far slaughtered "1,331,578" mostly innocent civilians, are war crimes and major constitutional issues(for any state with a pretence to democracy, never mind exporting it) but the BBC world service basically chooses to ignore this and give these war criminals an easy ride. Yes we had Hutton's report, just like we had Widgery in Ireland but hypocrisy is always the byword of the BBC.
Today it is still Iraqi's who suffers but as sure as night follows day, tomorrow it will be more Irish, American and British who will be the victims of the eternal wars of the US & UK. Students of objective history know it repeats itself for those who refuse to learn or ignore the truth of its lessons. This is the legacy of censorship. This is the legacy of world service media of war crime enablers such as the BBC. - IrishBlog
Recalling the Downing Street Minutes
By Ray McGovern
July 26, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- Seven years ago this week, then British Prime Minister Tony Blair gathered his top national security advisers at 10 Downing St. to hear a report from U.K. intelligence chief Richard Dearlove, just back in London from face-to-face talks with then-CIA Director George Tenet in Washington.
Blair and President George W. Bush had been talking regularly by telephone for several months. But, as is well known, even the most secure phones can be tapped, and there are some things — like preparing criminal wars of aggression, I suppose — that are so outrageous one doesn’t dare take any chances.
Besides, Blair apparently had some misgivings about taking at face value the Texas-size braggadocio he was hearing at the other end of the phone about what was going to happen to Saddam Hussein and why. It is understandable that he would seek independent, authoritative confirmation that this was also what Bush was sharing with his top accomplices.
Who better to confirm or deny than Bush-vassal Tenet, who met six mornings a week with the American president to discuss the President’s Daily Brief?
Blair prevailed on a reluctant Tenet to host a visit from Dearlove on Saturday, July 20, 2002. Blair had seen enough of the garrulous Tenet in action to be able to calculate — correctly — that once you got him talking about secrets he was privileged to know about, kernels of truth could be gleaned from beneath all the usual bull. Documentary evidence now shows that the Dearlove dug out some remarkable kernels.
Matthew Rycroft, aide to Blair foreign policy guru David Manning, was taking minutes at the Downing Street meeting on July 23, 2002, minutes he immediately circulated to Blair and other participants. The minutes observed quite bluntly that "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
Enter an unknown patriotic truth-teller who eventually gave a copy of those minutes to London’s Sunday Times which, after performing due diligence regarding their provenance, published them on May 1, 2005. Blair himself has been careful not to dispute the authenticity of what then became known as the "Downing Street Minutes."
We Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity also performed due diligence and were first off the mark with "Proof Bush Fixed the Facts," May 4, 2005.
Too Late the Leak
The Downing Street Minutes represent the kind of documentary evidence after which trial lawyers, intelligence analysts – and serious investigative journalists – lust.
Though the unauthorized disclosure did not come early enough to head off the war, which had started more than two years before the document surfaced, the unique disclosure could have thrown some harsh light on the war’s origins — IF the Fawning Corporate Media in the United States did its job.
However, having been acrobatic cheerleaders for war on Iraq, the FCM did its level best to suppress this documentary evidence of the war’s fraudulent character.
Enter John Conyers, bless his heart, who was House Judiciary Committee ranking member at the time. Sadly, it is necessary to reach back four years to find the last thing Conyers did that took any courage, but one must give the timid please-don’t-say-impeach-in-my-presence Conyers his due with regard to the Downing Street Minutes.
(Full disclosure: Conyers had me arrested on July 23, 2007 — the five-year anniversary of the plotting at 10 Downing St. — when I would not leave his office until he agreed to do his duty under the Constitution to launch hearings on impeachment.
I stressed that, like him, I had sworn an oath – in my case as an Army officer – to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States; that my oath carried no expiration date; and that it was the Constitution that I was trying to protect and defend.
Unimpressed, Conyers called the Capitol police. I was quickly marched out of the Rayburn building off to jail, and later convicted of unlawful assembly. I would add only that, while we Irish are notorious for bearing grudges, I continue to believe — strongly — that Conyers’ inaction did grave damage to our Constitution by shirking his duty to start the orderly process called impeachment that the Founders intended for use in removing a president who thought he could act like a king.)
With respect to the Downing Street Minutes, though, Conyers did manage a temporary fit of courage. Readers may recall that he scheduled a "hearing" for June 16, 2005, in the only space the Republican majority would make available — a basement room under the Capitol.
On the morning before the hearing, Amy Goodman invited Conyers and me to be interviewed on Democracy Now. Just before the interview, I had a chance to look at the editorial page of Pravda, er, I mean the Washington Post, for that morning, and guess what? The Post saw fit to mention the Downing Street Minutes, though dismissively so as not to tarnish the newspaper’s glorious cheerleading for war.
"The memos add not a single fact to what was previously known about the administration’s prewar deliberations," the Post’seditors wrote, explaining why the leading newspaper of Washington had largely ignored the contents of the British documents. "Not only that: They add nothing to what was publicly known in July 2002."
I just now downloaded the Democracy Now transcript of my comments that morning, and was happy to see that I managed to suppress — sort of — the anger seething inside me (although my wife tells me some of it broke through). I beg readers’ indulgence:
AMY GOODMAN: I’m Amy Goodman, as we talk about the Downing Street Memo, a hearing being held on this issue by Congress Member John Conyers in Congress tomorrow. Congress Member Conyers joins us in Washington, along with former C.I.A. analyst, Ray McGovern. Ray McGovern, can you talk about what is most explosive about both, what is being called the Downing Street Memo, that talks about fixing the facts and intelligence around the policy, and this latest exposé of the Sunday Times of London, showing British cabinet members were warned that Britain was committed to taking part in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and they had no choice but to find a way to make it legal?
RAY McGOVERN: Well, Amy, we Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity had been saying for three years that the intelligence and the facts were being fixed to support an unnecessary war. We never in our wildest dreams expected to have documentary proof of that under a SECRET label: "SECRET: U.K. EYES ONLY" in a most sensitive document reserved just for cabinet officials in the Blair government. And so, what we have now is documentary proof that, as that sentence reads, the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.
The Washington Post this morning is still at it. They quote that sentence, and they say, "Well, this is vague, but intriguing." Well, there’s nothing vague about that at all, and it’s not at all intriguing. It’s highly depressing. Now, we veteran professionals, we professionals that toil long and hard in the intelligence arena are outraged at the corruption of our profession, but we are even more outraged by the constitutional implications here because as Congressman Conyers has just pointed out, we have here a very clear case that the Executive usurped the prerogatives of Congress of the American people and deceived it into permitting, authorizing an unauthorizeable war.
And, you know, when you get back to how our Constitution was framed by those English folks that were used to kings marching them off to the war blithely, for their own good, of course, those framers of our Constitution were hell-bent and determined, and wrote into the very first Article of our Constitution, that the power to make or authorize war would be reserved to the representatives of people in the Congress, not in the Executive. And so, for that usurpation to happen, that is a constitutional issue, and we’re even more outraged by that. …
AMY GOODMAN: We’re talking to Michigan Congress Member John Conyers who is holding a hearing on the Downing Street Memo tomorrow, and has won a small victory. It will actually be able to be held in Congress. Ray McGovern also with us, a long-time C.I.A. analyst for more than a quarter century, a top briefer for former Vice President George H.W. Bush. I wanted to ask you about Saddam Hussein’s son-in-law, who had said that there were no weapons of mass destruction, cited by western officials, U.S. officials, for many other reasons, but they never brought up that issue. Can you talk about the significance of this?
RAY McGOVERN: Yes. This gentleman’s name was Hussein Kamel. He was one of Saddam Hussein’s sons-in-law. And he defected in 1995 and was thoroughly debriefed by U.N. and U.S. and U.K. debriefers. He had quite a story to tell, because he was head of the missile, chemical, biological and nuclear programs in Iraq. And he was able to finger some of the things that the U.N. inspectors did not know, and what he told them turned out to be quite right. He also told them that the chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs and weapons were destroyed at his order in July of 1991, right after the Gulf War. That’s in black and white. It’s in the debriefing report. An enterprising British researcher went to Vienna. I don’t know how he got access to the debriefing report, but he did, and he found out that Kamel also said, as I said, that all those weapons were destroyed at his order. Of course, he was in charge.
Now, curiously enough, that seemed to escape our leaders. It was never cited, although Hussein Kamel himself was held up as the paragon of a reliable source. Dick Cheney, himself, in his major speech of 26 August 2002, held Hussein’s son-in-law as one of our most lucrative, reliable sources, but he never told us that this source, this wonderful source, also told us that all those weapons had been destroyed in July of 1991 at his order. Now, there’s no excuse for them not knowing that. It may have slipped in a crack between the F.B.I. and the C.I.A., I suppose, but it also appeared in Newsweek four weeks before the war. Four weeks before the war, the report that Hussein Kamel, their paragon source, had said all those weapons had been destroyed. Now, the C.I.A and the spokesmen there and all of the other spokesmen in government said this was ludicrous, this was false; besides, it’s untrue and everything else. And they came down real hard on it.
Guess what our domesticated press did with that. No more story on that, because they were all cheerleading for the war. And I’ll just make one more point about our domesticated press. The Washington Post today in this lead editorial says that these memos were not given much play in the press because, (quote), "They do not add a single fact to what was previously known about the administration’s pre-war deliberations." Now, if The Washington Post knew that as of 23 July 2002, the president had, in the British words, inevitably decided on war, if they knew that the president intended to use as justification the conjunction between terrorism and so-called weapons of mass destruction, and if they knew that the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy, you know, they really ought to — they surely should have told us that, The Washington Post should have.
It’s really ludicrous. It would be laughable if it weren’t so serious a situation. Because what needs to happen here is you have a start-up newspaper in Washington called The Washington Spark, okay? Now, on the 11th of May, they carried the whole story, including the memo itself. Right here. Now, that hasn’t appeared in The Washington Times or The Washington Post, but here in The Washington Spark, new start-up paper, just days after the memo, it’s there. So it’s possible there’s some kind of a rule against publishing things that are so critically damaging of our president, and the editorial in the Post today is Exhibit A.
When the Conyers hearing was held on June 16, 2005, the witnesses included Gold Star mother and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, former U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson, constitutional lawyer John Bonifaz, and me together as panelists. (My prepared remarks can be seen at "June 16 Testimony of Ray McGovern.")
The room was more than somewhat cramped, but half the space was allotted for the TV cameras — including C-SPAN, which carried the proceedings live.
Fitting with its dismissive attitude toward the Downing Street disclosures, the Post sent satirical columnist Dana Milbank to cover the hearing and his article the next day dripped with sarcasm.
"In the Capitol basement yesterday, long-suffering House Democrats took a trip to the land of make-believe," Milbank wrote. "They pretended a small conference room was the Judiciary Committee hearing room, draping white linens over folding tables to make them look like witness tables and bringing in cardboard name tags and extra flags to make the whole thing look official."
Milbank also took some cheap shots at Conyers, who – Milbank wrote – "banged a large wooden gavel and got the other lawmakers to call him ‘Mr. Chairman.’" [For the article's full flavor, see the Washington Post's "Democrats Play House To Rally Against the War," June 17, 2005]
Now seven years after the Downing Street Minutes were written – and more than four years after their disclosure – they remain one of the most damning pieces of evidence against both the Bush administration for its criminal deceptions in leading the nation to war and the FCM for its complicity in hiding the truth from the American people.
As philosopher George Santayana wisely observed a century ago, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
